“A man who knows that he is saved by believing in Christ does not, when he is baptized, lift his baptism into a saving ordinance. In fact, he is the very best protester against that mistake, because he holds that he has no right to be baptized until he is saved.”
– Charles Spurgeon

“Baptism separates the tire kickers from the car buyers.”
– Max Lucado

“We may never be martyrs but we can die to self, to sin, to the world, to our plans and ambitions. That is the significance of baptism; we died with Christ and rose to new life”
– Vance Havner

“Baptism is faith in action.”
– Watchman Nee
